If you’re going to Comikaze this weekend, be sure to keep an eye out for Lindz and me! Lindz will be covering the fashion show on Friday and I’ll be in it representing Gold Bubble Clothing. Saturday you can find us as panelist in the Geek Girl Fashion panel at 1pm, Rm 301B. Otherwise you’re sure to find us roaming the con taking pictures of girls in outfits, or hanging out at the Gold Bubble Booth #1409.
